The Konka, also known as the Kinka, Kinska, or Kinski Vody is a left tributary of the Dnieper, flowing through Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine. It is 146 km long, and has a drainage basin of 2580 km2. It originates in the Azov Upland and flows into the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnieper. The cities of Polohy and Orikhiv are located on the river. The name is a calque of the Crimean Tatar name of the river Yilki Su, which means "water of wild horses".

History

A residence of the Mongol military leader Mamai also used to be located at the mouth of the river. In the 18th century it served as a border between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. In June 2023, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Kakhovka Dam was blown up, causing the Konka's water level to drop rapidly.
